The Road to Change

You say you want change, you want unification
Because we all come from these hurting nations,
We preach for peace and Worldly Salvation
But do we know what it means to cure devastation?

You say you want love, an end to all hatred,
But in your mind all other religions are degraded.
If no one is good enough to find worldly peace
Then who will be sitting at the heavenly feast?

If our God can love us with all of these flaws
Then can't He love anyone who seeks truth at all?
Don't cut down your brothers and tell them they're wrong
Because we all seek truth and need love to be strong.

We can stay up all night,
Trying to find out who's right,
But instead of sitting here fighting and putting up walls,
Maybe it's better to say nothing at all.


I figured to kick things off I might as well start with something I've written. I wrote this a few weeks ago after having a pretty intense discussion about religion. I feel like everyone always thinks their belief and their religion is the right way, but not everyone can be right. I believe that following your conscience is the only way to find truth, and everyone does that differently. So why hate on people who don't think the same way as you? Your denomination and religion are just titles, but all the people around you are your brothers and sisters. Accept them, exactly the way they are. God does. Can you?
